Just curious if most people know of the medical conditions that run in their family.
Do you know your medical family history?

More than I ever wanted to know ...
My mother ... who is an RN ... and had me fill out her family medical history papers when she broke her wrists ... yeah. XP

Yep, we all get cancer and die.

Mostly. I know both sides of my family have numerous blood pressure/heart problems (between my sisters and I, so far I'm the only one who doesn't have heart issues), plus the occasional cancer/diabetes/Crohn' s/etc.

Yes up to my great grandparent's.
10/15/2012
I only know my moms history and a little bit of my dads.
10/15/2012
Yes - I know my parent's history pretty well - and a fair amount about my grandparents as well.

Yes, it's importent to know this!
10/16/2012
Yes, I do.

Yes, I know most of it.

My mom was adopted and never found her biological parents so there's a lot I don't know, unfortunately.
10/16/2012
Not a clue.
10/16/2012
Nope.
10/16/2012
I know about a heart condition on one side of my family and diabetes/cancer on the other side.
10/16/2012
Not so much.
10/16/2012
I know some, but not a lot.

A couple years ago, my dad's mom filled in my aunt and me about our family history. It was downright scary and informative.
10/16/2012
I wish I did. Unfortunately, I don't have contact with my biological father so I can't figure out what I might need to look out for :'(
10/16/2012
some of it
10/16/2012
Most of it. My parents are pretty up front about the family negatives
10/16/2012
I thought I did. Then I made my mom go with me to the Dr.s and I made her fill out the paper work. So many things I didn't know!
10/16/2012
Noooo :/
10/16/2012
I mainly only know my mom's side of the medical history. I have had NO contact with my biological side of the family my whole life.
